That’s life Ashley, on some days nothing seems to be going right. On Saturday I thought I’d take a different bike and was on my Dahon for the first time this year and it felt exactly the way you described your ride. I was happy to get home again.

On an MS150 ride there was some significant rain. I was having to work harder then usual to maintain my speed. I was sure I had a flat. After a few minutes I stopped and checked, of course there was no flat, just enough water to provide sufficient resistance that I noticed it (or so I told myself).

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out. Have you tried either of these? Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
